About this Event

"HOLY JOHN HUGHES THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!"

Get ready to turn up the nostalgia and sing your heart out — synthpop sweethearts Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill are bringing their nationally touring hit side project 80s kids to Boston!

80s kids is a high-octane joyride through the best of 1980s synthpop — tied together with funny, moving stories about growing up in the 80s.

From the electrifying beats of Depeche Mode and New Order to the heart-on-the-sleeve melodies of OMD and Erasure, this show is a love letter to the decade of iconic anthems and underdog heroes.

This dynamic concert-style theater show features all-time favorites from Pet Shop Boys, a-ha, Soft Cell, Alphaville, The Human League, and many more — delivered in a wildly fun and interactive performance that feels like you’re experiencing them live for the first time.

With awesome, authentic sound, amazing immersive video art, killer merch, inclusive energy, and magnetic, joyful stage presence, this hit show is an experience that you don’t want to miss. Get your tickets today!

* Freebies at the merch table for people wearing 80s fashion!
